Psysonic is **optimized first and foremost for Navidrome**, and it leans into that on purpose: instead of being one more generic Subsonic client, it is **the Navidrome-first desktop client that does things no other client does.** Other Subsonic-compatible servers can work well too, but advanced features may depend on server-side support.

# Highlights
|
||||
# ⭐ Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
## Playback & Queue
|
||||
These are the things that set Psysonic apart. To our knowledge, no comparable self-hosted desktop client ships them.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🪐 Orbit — Shared Listening
|
||||
|
||||
**Listen together, in sync, over your own server.**
|
||||
|
||||
Orbit brings real-time synchronized group listening into Psysonic. Start a session, invite people with a link, and everyone hears the same thing at the same time — with host-controlled playback, a shared queue and guest song suggestions.
|
||||
|
||||
The clever part: Orbit rides entirely on **your own Navidrome**. There is no external relay, no third-party service and no extra accounts. The session lives on your server, where it belongs. It is built for real-world music sharing without turning your self-hosted setup into a social-media circus.

## ⚡ Local Library — Instant, and Almost Offline
|
||||
|
||||
**A local index of your whole collection, so the app stays fast no matter what your connection does.**
|
||||
|
||||
Psysonic keeps a local library of your collection's metadata right on your machine. Because the app already knows your tracks inside out, browsing, searching and starting playback are instant — even a 500 MB FLAC starts the moment you hit play, because nothing has to be fetched or parsed first.
|
||||
|
||||
It also means the connection to your server stops being a bottleneck. Even on a slow, flaky or distant link, Psysonic stays responsive and **behaves almost like an offline player**, whatever the network is doing.
|
||||
|
||||
And it's the foundation everything else is built on: the local library is what makes on-device analysis, smart audio and snappy navigation possible in the first place.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧠 On-Device Audio Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**One of the most powerful things Psysonic does — entirely on your own machine.**
|
||||
|
||||
Built on top of the local library, Psysonic analyzes your tracks locally — **loudness, waveform and tempo** — with no cloud service and no required server-side plugin. That analysis is what powers content-aware AutoDJ transitions, LUFS-based loudness normalization and playback-speed control.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a deep, genuinely useful layer that most clients simply don't have, and because it runs locally, it works exactly the same whether you're fully online or barely connected.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎧 AutoDJ — Content-Aware Crossfade
|
||||
|
||||
**A DJ that listens to the music, not a stopwatch.**
|
||||
|
||||
Most players do fixed-time crossfade: blend the last N seconds into the next N seconds, dead air and all. AutoDJ uses Psysonic's own audio analysis to **trim the silence at the edges of a track and blend out of the actual music** — for transitions that sound deliberate instead of mechanical. It is a standalone playback mode with smooth skip/interrupt handling and a configurable overlap.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔗 Navidrome-Native, Deeply
|
||||
|
||||
**Not a generic Subsonic client wearing a Navidrome hat.**
|
||||
|
||||
Psysonic binds Navidrome's native capabilities directly: server-side smart-playlist create/edit, playback reporting and OpenSubsonic capability probing. Most clients in this space stay Subsonic-generic. Psysonic goes deeper, so Navidrome users get the features their server can actually deliver.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Community Theme Store
|
||||
|
||||
**A real marketplace for themes — installable and schedulable.**
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond a big set of built-in themes, Psysonic has a first-party theme registry: browse community themes, install them in-app, and let the **Theme Scheduler** switch looks automatically between day and night.
